I don't know where it is. But if you follow the high pressure lines after the condenser, it should hit the orifice tube, because that is where the refridgerant gets converted from high pressure to low pressure. Probably right where it starts to get cold is a good spot.

Another idea would be to get the new tube and use it as a reference.

Most likely in the dash or firewall, attached to the evap coil.

well i thought it should be in the liquid line where it plugs into the condensor but i do not see it there any where.also i do have the new tube in hand pretty small and deff fits into one of the lines so you cant actually see it it is pressed into one of the hoses ....well ill keep lookin for now
